For example, if I played a song really, really slowly. Say, one note per hour, I doubt people would be able to recognize it as music and have the same chemical, physical, and emotional response than if it were played “normally”. When does music become just sound and vice versa?
**Have there been any experiments on how slow music can be before we stop “feeling” the music?**

Fun(and slightly unrelated) fact: there’s brain injuries that cause sensory issues known as agnosias, in which we lose the ability to process a certain type of sensory input. For example, there’s an agnosia where the people affected can no longer perceive music. Specifically music. This implies that there is a part of our brains that has specifically evolved to perceive music. Music is that important.
More on topic: I think this one depends on the song. If I heard a G sharp, no matter how slow the next note was in coming, i would recognize Welcome To The Black Parade.
